S1 E42 Are you evolving? And your educational practices?
Description
As my experiences on the planet have changed and my perspective of life has evolved, I see education very differently. I believe the classroom is where we encourage human connection and where the curriculum the content is far less important that than the social skills our students can develop when we’re all together. If we want a generation of students, learners, humans on the planet who can work together to solve the problems they have been born into and have had no part in creating, we need to give them as many opportunities to develop the skills to work in teams – not to conform to each other’s ideas but to know how to respectfully share and listen to each others ideas, know how to actively listen, negotiate different perspectives, encourage variations based on justifiable visions, and in short work together to shine as one ray of light made up of crystals of each one’s individual light. How does that sound for the New Year?
